We work wherever there is great need, helping people to find their own solutions to the problems they face, irrespective of their religion, caste or creed. If you’re passionate about positive change across the world, then this job might be for you.

The five-year programme (2009-2014) supports civil society organisations (CSOs) promoting inclusive policies, programmes and institutions at local, district and state levels.
